FG direct all secondary schools to teach History as standalone subject

The Federal Government has directed all basic and secondary
schools across the country to immediately implement the teaching of
history as a standalone subject from the next academic
calendar.

Sonny Echono, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Education made
this known on Friday in an interview with the News Agency of
Nigeria in Abuja.

It would the recalled that the Federal Government on June 18
promised the return history to school curriculum while ensuring
that all primary school teachers are trained to deliver digital
literacy.

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has declared at the launch of
Education for Justice Programme that government had kick-started
implementation in 12 primary and secondary schools across the six
geo-political zones and instructional classes have also
commenced.

According to Mr Echono, the directive has already been given and
it is automatic that all the schools should implement
simultaneously.

“By the next academic calendar, history will be taught as a
standalone subject.

“It is with immediate implementation. So, definitely for the
next academic year everybody will fall in line because we already
articulated the curriculum and the examination should be done along
those lines,” he said.
